by Natalie Charles

From the author of the “delightful and entertaining” (Library Journal) Seeking Mr. Wrong comes a charming romance following a woman who leaves home to forget the man who broke her heart and discovers the love that was waiting for her.Mindy Ling is a broken woman. After finding out that her best friend Chase—who she’s been in love with for years—is getting married, she escapes her troubles to spend some quality time with her grandmother in a small seaside town in Connecticut. She hopes to distract herself by staying in one of the guest cottages at her grandmother’s quaint bed and breakfast and helping the innkeeper with the day-to-day activities. But after she learns that the innkeeper is literally running a house of ill repute, Mindy becomes determined to put an end to it. And a handsome local named Brett seems to be just the person she needs to help her. Beneath his unassuming exterior, Brett Hannigan keeps many secrets. Locally he is referred to as the People Walker, but little else is known about the handsome stranger who captivates Mindy’s interest and provides a welcome distraction from Chase. Mindy discovers that Brett is kind but a man who has higher walls than she can scale. But something tells her that if only she can reach him, she might find everything she’s been looking for. In this charming romance perfect for fans of Kristan Higgins and Lauren Layne, Natalie Charles shows us that sometimes it takes a broken heart to find just the right person to fix it.

The man that Mindy has loved forever is getting married to someone else. She's also broke so she moves home with her grandmother to help her run her B&B. She is shocked to find out that the innkeeper that is working for her grandmother is actually using the B&B as a Brothel. She feels she needs help so she enlists the aid of the local mystery man, Brett. Can Mindy get through the secrets and get to know the man underneath?

I enjoyed the characters in this book very much. They were sincere and complex. While the plot was a bit predictable, it was still interesting and kept me hooked till the last page.

I voluntarily read an ARC of this book.

Fun sweet funny story

I loved this book just as much as the first one. Lovely characters. Made me laugh. The back story about the brothel inn was creative. I highly recommend this book.

『ロマンス作家の恋のお悩み』のスピンオフ。本作のヒロインはミンディ。彼女がまた思い込みが激しく感情のまま行動するので、読んでいてハラハラする。その一方、ヒーローは地味だけれど安定していて、だからこそ素っ頓狂なヒロインでも安心して読める──と、思っていたのは中盤まで。ヒーローもまた、辛い過去を抱え、特殊な境遇のもと、終盤で誤った選択をしてしまう。ヒーローの口からフェミニズムの思想が語られるなど、難しいトピックをよくぞ盛り込んだなと思う。『ロマンス作家の〜』と同様、一見地味でも内容が良く楽しく読了。
